Look at it this way, what you had been calling water was dirty and the dirty part gave it the flavor, now your drinking H2O.
I prefer fruit juice and drink less than a gallon of plain water per year. My 2 youngest boys refuse to drink any water. Trevor age 2 ans 1/2 refuses 100% to drink water, he has drank ONLY apple cider for the past 2 months. When the oranges come I will switch him to orange juice. He also loves pineapple juice, etc.
